Overview of Polybutene
Polybutene is a man-made polymer found in adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and plastics. In the plastics and rubber industry, it is valued for its good viscosity, low evaporation, and strong sticking ability.
For those without a technical background, polybutene is an additive that helps make polymers, resins, and rubber more flexible, stronger, and longer-lasting.
